A restaurant titled “The Original Pancake House” truly has no choice but to live up to its name. If you’re going to be the original, you have to be the best. Since 1976, The Original Pancake House has offered just that — the best breakfast in Champaign-Urbana.
Lovingly dubbed “OHOP” by locals, The Original Pancake House has that perfect, cozy vibe for a nice breakfast with friends, family or that special someone. The homey restaurant has a friendly staff and opens bright and early for anyone looking to start the day right.
No aspect of The Original Pancake House’s menu disappoints. Beverages include steaming cups of coffee, overflowing mugs of hot chocolate and flavorful fruit juices to start your meal. Not to mention, there’s the enormous Belgian waffles and various pancakes stuffed and loaded with every topping imaginable.
Though it’s a bit of a trip off-campus, The Original Pancake House is worth a visit. Next time you’re looking for a breakfast spot to try when your family or friends are in town, take a drive into Champaign to try the best one in C-U.
